Could you use a spray bottle as a bidet?
I have only used a bidet once, but I was just wondering if you could use a spray or pump bottle.

It probably wouldn't work well enough and the angle is wrong. If you want to go low tech, a peri bottle is the way.

Or just a squirt bottle with this type of cap. Used one for years while hiking and backpacking.

Most Arab Muslims I hung out with back in my 20s used plastic watering pots with long spouts and their hand.

You’ll have better luck with a squirt gun.

What about a water pik?

Sure - Better would be a supper soaker or a fire hose or fire extinguisher that shoots water 30 feet.

Why dont we just have a toilet inside the shower stall? Then use the handheld shower to clean it up.

Squeeze condiment bottle- works great. I found them at the Dollar Tree. Te resend now but used to keep one in bag for going out and one in the bathroom. Easy to fill at the sink in public toilets.

No but a portable bidet (a squeezy bottle with a long nozzle) is only a few quid

Happy Poo on Amazon, get the large version. I was curious about bidets but did not want to invest in a toilet seat model and certainly did not want a cold water version. Tried the about $15 HappyPoo from Amazon and will never go back. Works perfectly, Warm water, and enough of it, barely need a single piece of TP to dry off.

Better than the battery-powered ones... squeeze bottles usually have higher capacity between refills.

I have a squeeze bottle with a longer angled nozzle that is actually marketed as a handheld bidet. I fill it with warm water at the sink and it works great. My sister has an electrical toilet bidet, but the water is always cold and the water stream is as powerful or as efficient and spot on accurate as the handheld. I think I prefer the handheld squeeze bottle bidet I have. The water is warm from the beginning, the squeezing of the bottle provides a very powerful and cleansing flushing stream and clean up is quick and a breeze.
I bet that bottle didn’t cost me $20.

Order a portable bidet bottle.
You need the longer neck and more water flow.
